Estimating Gibbs free energies via isobaric-isothermal flows

Peter Wirnsberger, Borja Ibarz, George Papamakarios

We present a machine-learning model based on normalizing flows that is trained to sample from the isobaric-isothermal ensemble. In our approach, we approximate the joint distributi…

A Generalist Neural Algorithmic Learner

Borja Ibarz, Vitaly Kurin, George Papamakarios +12

The cornerstone of neural algorithmic reasoning is the ability to solve algorithmic tasks, especially in a way that generalises out of distribution. While recent years have seen a…

Normalizing flows for atomic solids

Peter Wirnsberger, George Papamakarios, Borja Ibarz +4

We present a machine-learning approach, based on normalizing flows, for modelling atomic solids. Our model transforms an analytically tractable base distribution into the target so…

Reward learning from human preferences and demonstrations in Atari

Borja Ibarz, Jan Leike, Tobias Pohlen +3

To solve complex real-world problems with reinforcement learning, we cannot rely on manually specified reward functions. Instead, we can have humans communicate an objective to the…

Growing Critical: Self-Organized Criticality in a Developing Neural System

Felipe Yaroslav Kalle Kossio, Sven Goedeke, Benjamin van den Akker +2

Experiments in various neural systems found avalanches: bursts of activity with characteristics typical for critical dynamics. A possible explanation for their occurrence is an und…
